Question

Yeah, my question is in the title.

Answer 1

Answer 2

It depends on what you like to eat. Are you a steak and lobster person or more of a pizza and burger type or all of the above?

I would suggest you budget about $5-7 for breakfast, $9-20 for lunch, and  about the same for dinner, if not more. All estimates are in USD and per person.

Of course, you can eat a typical local dish for just $3, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Some tourists do. I know I did while I was on vacation here and wanted a quick bite to eat. By the way, a pound of lobster tail and a side dish will run you about $30 while a burger with fries will run you about $6 plus the cost of beverages, and in most cases, tax, and tip, if not already included in the price on the menu.

Enjoy your stay.
